NEW MEXICO / 1959

SOMETHING MOVES
BENEATH OUR FEET.

Above ground, the desert stretches for miles.
Below it, you’re running out of room.

Descend into a world of mutant ants, failing lights, and places that were never meant to become a battlefield. From abandoned wards to the workings of a mine, every doorway puts you closer to the infestation.

IT GETS WORSE
DOWN HERE.

Hospital corridors. Mine workings. A military bunker.
Explore the places taking shape in Terror from Below.

Giant ants crowd a ruined hospital corridor as a survivor faces them.

THE MINE

Follow the rails. Watch the walls.

Timber, machinery, and narrow galleries swallowed by the swarm. The mine is the heart of the descent taking shape beneath New Mexico.

Sealed military bunker doors beneath the mine, lit by amber industrial lamps.

THE GAME IN DEVELOPMENT
Field agent concept: a survivor in a weathered tan jacket, red tie, and gray trousers.
FIELD AGENT / CHARACTER CONCEPT

BRING A CREW.
LEAVE NO ONE BELOW.

Investigators. Soldiers. Journalists. Scientists.
Different lives. The same way down.

The planned campaign brings a crew of up to eight players from the staging area into the infestation. Prepare together, keep track of each other, and fight for the next passage.

Online co-op is in development.

01

BREAK THEIR STRIDE.

Aim for limbs. Shoot away an ant’s support and change the fight. Appendage damage is part of the game’s current development.

02

MAKE A WAY THROUGH.

Excavation and surveying are part of the planned mine experience. A blocked passage may be the next route into the dark.

03

HOLD YOUR GROUND.

The planned bunker finale puts the crew under pressure while the way forward opens. Stay together when the swarm closes in.
